Kerbside Recycling & Waste Collections - Overview
We offer a weekly kerbside collection scheme of the following:
- Recycling using pink recycling sacks
- Textiles and clothing using clear textile recycling sacks
- Unavoidable cooked and uncooked food waste using the blue food waste collection bin
- Refuse (landfill waste) using black refuse sacks
- Garden waste using the green bin (opt into scheme)
- Garden waste using pre-paid compostable sacks (opt into scheme)
In order to benefit from the collection services, we ask you to:
- Present your pink recycling and clear textile recycling sacks, blue food waste bins, garden waste (if applicable) and black refuse sacks by 7am on your scheduled collection day.
- Present items in a visible and accessible location at the kerbside (boundary) of the property and not obstructing the public highway (this includes the footpath or verge).
- Ensure that the correct items are placed in the correct sack/bin.
To view a map of the area covered on each collection day please see the leaflet 'Your Recycling & Waste Collection Day' which can be found in the related downloads section on the right-hand side of this page. Alternatively, you can use our Where I Live facility to find out when your collection day is.
